3mths 20days
Nini does’nt wan to drink milk recently, from her usual 160ml drop to 120ml or even 100ml. I feel so heartpain seeing her losing some weight here and there. We tried many ways to coax her.. but she jus dun wan to drink. Today we decided to have some Tim Sum buffet, but wen we reach there, the manager told they were fully booked, I’ve been craving for Tim Sum since last wk, arrghh… so angry., In the end darling bring to eat my another favourite, Fish n Co. So we went to the bugis outlet and shun bian go shopping at bugis junction.

Daddy coaxing her to drink her milk.

She dun like the sunglass, keep shaking her head.. haha..

"Haiz... finally take out the sunglass already.."

20 April 2008 (We love the beach)

We love the beach
I suggested to darling tat we shd bring Nini out to the beach for some fresh air and sun tanning as the weather was just right for that. Seriously speaking.. I miss the beach, ever since I’ve got pregnant.. I’ve stop going sun tanning, dun even dare to bare my ugly tummy with so many “roads” on it. When we reach there, I feel so weird wearing so much at a beach.. lolz. Nini was having great fun there.. Stupid me… forgot to bring her fan along. She was sweating like nobody’s business. “Sorry Nini”. Sitting at the bench, with the sea wind blowing, seeing how her daddy playing with her… I feel so fortunate.

18 April 2008 (Aunty Mavis came to visit)

Aunty Mavis came to visit
Mavis decided to go to my mum’s place with me to visit Nini. She said Nini has got a pair of big drumsticks.. heehee.. (Fantastic Thigh) I agreed too.. her drumsticks are the most outstanding part. We had a good chat tat day while Nini lie down beside us trying to understand wat we were toking about.

Some pics taken previously.......

14 April 2008 (Our pig sty)

Our pig sty
Nini has got a little bad habit, she does’nt wan to slp in her own bed at nite. Wen we put her in our pig sty, preparing to slp.. she’ll play and in her own bed. But wen she really wan to slp.. she wan us to pat her… wan to slp in between us… then.. she is happy to go to her la la land. If not.. she will warn us by making a lot of eeh eeh sound to catch our attention, then.. she will cry non-stop if we decided to ignore her warning.

13 April 2008 (Nini's New Rocker)

Nini’s New Rocker
Today I decided to give darling a treat for taking care of Nini most of nite… but will eat wat I crave for.. hahhaha. Ever since last Sunday’s lunch… I’ve been craving for the Yaki Yuki’s teriyaki ckn.. have also ask Alen to join us too. This time round, we added the D.I.Y ice cream too. It was fun but not so nice.. Darling came up with the stupid idea of making cola ice-cream(using soft drink) instead of using their flavored ice-cream… but surprisingly.. its so much nicer than the flavored ice-cream. Heeheehee.
After lunch, we headed to Kiddy Palace.. have always wanted to buy Nini a toy, or maybe a rocker with toys.
We tried some of the automatic rocker.. find it very good, can keep her entertained with the auto rocking system, but… it can only hold up to max 9kg, but she is already 7.6kg… few more mths, she wont be able to sit in it ler. Then we saw the jumperoo.. we put her inside and she gave us the expression of ”a.. new toy” with one side of her eye brow stuck up.. so funny.. hahhaha.. she seems happy in it.. but wen we saw the price, wooo.. abt $299 (if I remember) so ex.. and darling was suggesting we buy next time wen Nini is more stable with her back and neck, so Nini have to wait for a few mths ler. In the end, we decided to buy this Newborn to Toddler Portable Rocker which cost abt $129, so much cheaper.. can sit from newborn to toddler, with vibration mood somemore.. \(^^)/

10 April 2008 (Nini's 2nd 6in1 injection)

Nini’s 2nd 6in1 injection.
Today we brought her to her PD for her 2nd 6in1 injection, first Dr Lilian will do a simple check up on her, this include checking on her development and her responsiveness. She said Nini is doing fine and she said her weight is above average, but no need to diet.. lolz. She weighs 7.6kg at 3mths 3days old.. wahahaha.
Dr Lilian ask me to carry Nini with back facing her, then ask darling to use the toy to distract her, she then gently pinch her butt and poke the needle in. Nini fidget abit but she did not cry at all.. as if nothing happened I tink she is like me, got thick buffalo skin.. lolz.


Trying to hold her own bottle

5 in 1 vs 6 in 1 vaccination

5 in 1 vs 6 in 1 vaccination
Based on this schedule, your child will receive:
Birth: BCG and Hepatitis (Done at the hospital)
1 mth: Hepatitis
3 mth: DTP + Polio (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)
4 mth: DTP + Polio
5 mth: DTP + Polio
6 mth: Hepatitis
This completes the vaccinations for the first year.

What is this 5 in 1 vaccination?

The smart scientists came up with what is known as a 5 in 1 vaccine. The 5 in 1 basically combines DTaP + IPV + Hib (Haemophilus Influenzae type B) into one vaccination. You may notice that there is a slight difference in the annotations. The "a" in DTaP stands for acelluar as opposed to whole cell vaccine. Acellular means that only purified Bacterial Parts are used in the vaccine as opposed to using the whole Bacteria. Acellular vaccines have been shown to have less side effects than whole vaccines.
IPV stands for inactivated Polio Virus as opposed to the Oral Polio which is a live virus given by mouth. The inactivated Polio Virus is incorporated into the 5 in 1 vaccine.
Haemophilus Influenzae type B (Hib) is not included in the schedule but it is an important vaccine to give to baby. Before the introduction of Hib, 10 -15 babies died in Australia each year from this disease, and 20-40% of the survivors were left with permanent neurological damage. So it is good to protect baby against this.
So as you can see, the new 5 in 1 vaccine offers many advantages over the old vaccination scheme.

So what is the 6 in 1 vaccination?

The clever scientists again made life easier for parents and doctors by coming up with a 6 in 1 vaccine. The 6 in 1 is actually the 5 in 1 plus the Hepatitis vaccine.
So instead of the old schedule where the baby needs to be given 5 injections, now the baby only needs to be jabbed 3 times. With 6 in 1 the schedule becomes:
Birth: BCG and Hepatitis (Done at the Hospital)
2 mth: 6 in 1
4 mth: 6 in 1
6 mth: 6 in 1
Less in injections means less pain and less chances for side effects to occur.
